Just wondering if my horn sounds right. It sounds like a really cheap french horn, and I want the nice full sound like a new BMW.
Anyone had the same problem?
Possible Recommendations?
Any help much appreciated
Cheers
Bad sounding Horn!

May find that its got the 2 horns but ones packed up. Easy to check if you've got a cheap multimeter. Just bung it on Volts then disconnect the plug and stick a probe in each terminal. Then get a mate to press the horn. If you get a 12V reading (will be a negarive if you've got them the other way round) then get a new horn from the scrappy.

May damage his hearing though!
Lol!
Yea I think I only have a single one, because its hiding behind the kidney grill, and I can't see another. In which case i'll buy a two tone horn.
Many thanks for your advice

It's dead easy to add another horn.
Yea '91 318i.
Should I just buy a two piece horn from the scrapyard? Or add another horn to mine?

You could just buy the low tone horn, as 316i/318i are only fitted with the higher tone one.samr wrote:Yea '91 318i.

Or if easier, get both if you go to a scrappies, they are located above the foglamps, and not behind the kidney when fitted with the twin tone.
Thanking you Simon.
